We often forget about the urgent crisis of hunger and homelessness when it comes to our four legged friends. In episode 12 of the Crisis Storm we explore how these crises are a reality for another vulnerable population with Nikki Lussier from the Four Paws Food Bank Foundation. Nikki Lussier is the Chair of the Four Paws Food Bank Foundation who recently held an event called Mission Pawsible, in Kamloops on March 24th, 2024. Nikki was joined at this Talk Show style event with several people and partnering organizations including Tara Holmes acting as the event emcee, Jacquie Brand from the YMCA BC Women’s Shelter, Ashley Gribble from Urban Tailz Adventures, Amy Atkinson from Northern Noses Pet Services, Quincey Ross with her Trick Dog Osa from Canine Connections Dog Training, Jenn Breckenridge and Julie Ondang from Sammy’s Forgotten Felines, Darlene Snellen the Kamloops “Pawd” Leader from ElderDog Kamloops, and Dr. Sarah Pihowich, Dr. Calli Freedman and Dr. Nicole Gostkowski from the Central Animal Hospital. The Crisis Storm is an in-depth podcast series that will be research for a documentary film series called Finding A Way Forward. Join us as we pursue a better understanding of the many crises which collectively have become a Crisis Storm surrounding Homelessness, Mental Health, Addictions, Drug Overdose, Crime, Polarization, Healthcare, Business Impacts, and Communication Breakdown.
